Comment Re:Netflix isn't the cheapest (Score 1) 490

Our library even allow us to rent virtual book and virtual dvds; were we get to download the book or dvd immediatly, and we return it when we don`t need it anymore or it`s done automatically after a week, doing exactly what netflix isn't doing and the user is complaining about. Personnaly, I'm using only the books so far since the offering is mostly french and I favor watching a movie in it`s original language, and french books are what`s harder to find with other means. Still, it`s a great way to get the latest movies (and books) for my kids :)

I also have size 13 winter boots. I've drove many brands and many models of cars, and since winter last a while around here, I've done so with those winter boots. In most of the cars, I am always touching the brake pedal when pressing the gaz. We learn to be very cautious at all times; in his blog you can clearly see the wide brake pedal that might not be so far from the gaz but you know what, you can move your feet much more to the left without problems.

Most of the issue with large boots is actually slowing down when you intended to speed up, not the reverse! He clearly failed at it...

Oh well, the issue on my side at this time is not having a tesla :) At least he got that right!

From TFA, they send themselves MD5 hash of the websites people have visited. Knowing that, I believe that they are using your DNS history signature to compare between players that are cheating. I don't see why they would ban people they aren't sure are cheating, as they certainly don't want to be hit by PR nightmare when people would get banned for no reason. The rare false positive they get at this time is already hard on them, and they go great way (well, large amount of steam credits happen) to make those people happy when errors really do happen.

I have looked at websites offering hacks myself, and that was mostly to know what I was against; I don't want to ragequit out of a game when the players are really good, but I certainly don't want to provide free kills to cheaters. Being able to recognize the difference is important, and knowing their arsenal helps a lot in that department.

Oh well, I've not been playing competitive steam games in a while anyway.

The number of regions will not adapt to keep the design mantra behind; if I want my columns to have around 40 characters each, and the number of columns in a region to automatically be adjusted to best match the display width, I will have to manually manage this (or use one of the other solutions, but not it`s not directly css region)

What makes you think they hadn't it all cracked, but just wanted to have him spend more time in jail while they prepare the other stuff they will hit him with ? What if he really had forgotten the password ? Beside he had already given them; why would not they have tried all other passwords they had received ?
